Don't get me wrong, folks.  Judy Moon produces some great ferrets - I have
two from her, but I must clarify something, I had to work just as hard at
potty training them as all the other ferrets I have had.  Yes, it does help
when the breeder puts a litter pan in the cage early on BUT it does not
necessarily make that much of a difference.  I must deflect the fact that
Judy is boasting about her ferrets being potty-trained and this is just not
the case - at least not with the two I got from her.
 
All the ferrets I have, came from breeders and they all had litter pans in
their cages when still at the breeder's home.  This made NO difference
whatsoever.
 
My point is, we all know that potty training takes alot of patience and
work and regardless of where the ferret originates from, there is still
going to be alot of training necessary.  NO breeder can logically claim
that a kit is "potty trained" before leaving their facilities.  Hopefully,
there are no "newbies" out there who will believe a breeder or pet store
about this - this could set the person up for severe disappointment and
could result in the ferret being dumped (no pun intended).
 
You can disagree with me on this, but resort to logical arguments, not
name-calling and flaming.
 
Take care~
